The story of flowers
£25.00Throughout history flowers have been an integral part of human survival and culture. Their shapes, colours, scents and textures have always attracted us, as they do animals and insects. Flowers are used as luxury spices (saffron), and as colouring and flavouring agents – marigolds fed to chickens make eggs more yellow and lavender was Elizabeth I’s favourite flavour of jam. Flowers are full of symbolic meaning: violets represent modesty, daises purity and daffodils unrequited love. And they have always played an important role in culture through myths and legends, literature and the decorative arts. This book brings together 100 of the world’s flowers to tell their remarkable stories. Each flower is illustrated in colour and accompanied by facts about each species and what role it has played in our culture and history.

Venetian Gardens

Thousands visit every year – and a mixture of crowds and climate leave it vulnerable, so much so it is often said to be in danger of sinking – but away from the usual tourist haunts around St. Mark’s square are exceptional hidden treasures, some 500 gardens, many of them with fascinating stories. Starting in the heart of the city and working their way out to the Veneto, Monty and Derry celebrate the beauty of these places and tell their unique stories: from a beautiful nunnery garden with a history of exotic animals and a kitchen garden of the historic Foundation to the Madonna church to the estates of famous Venetian families, like the spectacular Giusti Renaissance garden.
